7th Mules vs.
Dimmitt (10-30-2014)
Jose Cardenas snatched up a
Dimmitt fumble at the Mule 48-yard line and scooted the 52 yards for the final
touchdown of the game. Kelan Florez took the snap and cut up field just outside
the tackle for the two-point conversion with 7:50 remaining in the game.
The clock was allowed to
continually run during the final quarter and the Mules defeated the Dimmitt
Bobcats 38-0.
The Mules opening drive ended
in disappointment after driving from the Mule 28 to the Dimmitt one-yard line
in just six plays. The Mules had a first and goal from the one and fumbled. The
ball rolled into the end zone and Dimmitt recovered.
Damian Juarez made the stop
after a Dimmitt four-yard gain on first down. Fernando Rivas made back-to-back
tackles in the Bobcats backfield for a one-yard loss each time. The Bobcats
were forced to punt on fourth down and the ball took a Dimmitt bounce to the
Mule 24.
The Mules suffered a sack on
first down and were backed up nine yards. Juarez kept up the middle and cut to
the right for an 85-yard touchdown run with 51 seconds remaining in the opening
period. The Mules led 6-0 after the two-point conversion failed.
Hector Arras made the stop on
the Dimmitt return at the Bobcat 38. A facemask penalty on first down moved the
ball to the Mule 46. Cristian Bustillos tackled the Bobcat on first down after
a Bobcat gain of three yards.
Jacob Barron broke up a pass
on second down. Cardenas picked off a Dimmitt pass at the Mule 30 and returned
it up field 10 yards.
Juarez was forced to scramble
to his right on first down. He turned the corner and scooted 60-yards for the
Mules’ second touchdown with 6:49 left in the half. The Mules led 12-0.
Eddie Vasquez kicked off to
the Dimmitt 38 and the Bobcats could not make a return. Matthew Alarcon made
the tackle on first down. Cardenas got a hand on the Bobcat pass and knocked
the ball away. Barron tipped the pass away from the Bobcat on third down to
force a Dimmitt punt to the Mule 47.
Juarez tossed a swing pass to
Arras. Arras broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage and raced 53-yards for a
touchdown to put the Mules on top 18-0 with 5:39 remaining in the half.
Cardenas kicked off for the
Mules to the Dimmitt 17. The Bobcats returned to the Mule 40 before Barron made
the touchdown saving tackle. Three plays later Jimmy Villa picked off a Bobcat
pass at the Mule 32. He returned to the Dimmitt 40 before being tackled.
Cardenas went in motion and
took the handoff on the Jet play and raced 25 yards to the Dimmitt 15. Juarez
tossed to Alarcon on the bubble screen for a 15-yard TD pass and run. The Mules
led 24-0 at the intermission.
Cardenas kicked off to start
the second half out of bounds at the Dimmitt four-yard line. Alarcon picked off
a Bobcat pass at the Dimmitt 42 and returned it to the end zone. A
blocking-in-the-back penalty brought the ball back to the Dimmitt 43.
Jesus Montiel took an option
pitch to the Dimmitt 39. Bustillos carried wide right and cut up field behind
blocks for 14 yards. Juarez found Barron open behind the Bobcat defense at the
Dimmitt four-yard line. Barron scored on the 25-yard pass and run with 3:11
left in the third period to extend the Mule lead to 30-0.
The Mules’ season will end in
Littlefield Thursday night when the Mules meet the Wildcats.
